简要总结
The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to validate the Spanish version of the Kihon Checklist for screening frailty in Spanish community-dwelling older adults.
详细描述
In order to identify individuals at risk for frailty, a wide variety of assessment tools have been developed in recent years. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of a gold standard method to be used. Therefore, simple, reliable, and valid instruments are still needed for both research and clinical purposes. The Kihon Checklist is a multidimensional tool widely used in Japan and in other countries, but an exhaustive validity in Spanish population has not been yet established.
The main objective is to validate the Spanish version of the Kihon Checklist for screening frailty in Spanish community-dwelling older adults, and as a secondary objective, to study and to compare different scales of frailty in the Spanish population, and to study their associations.
To cope with the objectives of the present study, a cross-sectional study was conducted. To this purpose, data were collected through various tests and questionnaires about: frailty; clinical, demographic and anthropometric characteristics; physical assessment; functional status; cognitive function; health-related quality of life; depressive mood; and nutritional status.

结局指标
主要结局
Frailty: The Kihon Checklist
时间窗: The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.
The Kihon Checklist is a self-reporting survey used for screening frail older adults. It consists of 25 yes/no questions divided into 7 domains: activities of daily living, physical strength, nutrition, eating, socialization, memory, and depressive mood. Higher scores indicate a higher risk of requiring support. A total score ≥ 7 points indicates general frailty (Sewo Sampaio 2016). The Spanish Kihon version used for validation in this study was translated by Maseda et al. (2017).
Frailty: The Edmonton Frailty Scale
时间窗: The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.
The Edmonton Frailty Scale (Rolfson 2006) evaluates 9 domains of frailty: cognition, general health status, functional independence, social support, medication usage, nutrition, mood, continence, and functional performance. It has a total score ranging from 0 to 17, with higher scores representing greater frailty severity.
Frailty: Fried's Frailty Phenotype
时间窗: The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.
Fried's Frailty Phenotype proposed in the Cardiovascular Health Study (Fried 2001) consists of 5 criteria: unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, low physical activity, reduced grip strength, and reduced gait speed. It has a total score ranging from 0 to 5. A frail person is who scores 3 to 5; prefrail when scores 1 to 2, and robust when scores 0.
Frailty: The Frail Scale
时间窗: The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.
Frailty measured by the Frail Scale (Masanes et al., 2012). It has a total score of 5 points. The more score the more frailty. Participants are considered frail individuals with scores 3 to 5; prefrail with scores 1 to 2, and robust with scores of 0.
Frailty: The Tilburg Frailty Indicator
时间窗: The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.
The Tilburg Frailty Indicator (Gobbens et al., 2010) is a self-reported questionnaire of 15 items addressing physical, psychological and social domains. The total score of the Tilburg scale can range from 0 to 15. Higher scores indicate more frailty.
